Author by: Scott DrakeLanguange: enPublisher by: RoutledgeFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 54Total Download: 589File Size: 53,9 MbDescription: The Elements of Architecture is a clear and well structured introduction to sustainable architecture, which concentrates on general principles to make an accessible and comprehensive primer for undergraduate students. The author takes a fresh and logical approach, focusing on the way aspects of the built environment are experienced by the occupants and how that experience is interpreted in architectural design. He works through basic elements and senses (sun; heat; light; sound; air; water and fire) to explain and frame effective environmental architectural design - not only arguing that the buildings we inhabit should be viewed as extensions of our bodies that interact with and protect us from these elements, but also using this analogy to explain complex ideas in an accessible manner.

Von Meiss expertly bridges the gap between history and contemporary work by pinpointing the constant factors that exist in all architecture. A comprehensive analysis of the whole architectural phenomenon, this valuable book will prove especially useful to modern practitioners who need to make constant reference to buildings of the past. Staying away from the ineffectual arguments on styles that dominate today's architectural literature, this is the first recent book to attempt such a synthesis of architectural history and contemporary work.

As such, it is unique. Author by: Ernest E. BurdenLanguange: enPublisher by: Van Nostrand Reinhold CompanyFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 63Total Download: 545File Size: 43,6 MbDescription: In order to achieve successful architectural design, architects must understand how the specific elements in the design reinforce the overall concept. Elements of Architectural Design: A Visual Resource focuses on this subject, treating each object in a design as a separate entity.

It displays the different details of construction both past and present, and explains why each element looks the way it does within a design context. Coverage of the entire spectrum of architectural styles addresses building materials, building typology, and features that distinguish each design element.

These elements are then discussed in terms of their application to contemporary usage. Emphasized throughout is the design element itself: buildings, components, and isolated elements are compared to show the continuity of design from early periods up to today. A stunning display of line drawings and photographs makes this source an especially valuable design resource. These images explore the actual forms, patterns, surfaces, materials, and other architectural elements used throughout history. Elevations and details of new designs, both built and unbuilt, are included. Elements of Architectural Design is an important reference for all practitioners and students of architecture.

It conceives of architecture both as the physical evidence of past societies and as existing beyond the physical environment, considering how people in the past have not just dwelled in buildings but have existed within them. The book engages with the meeting point between these two perspectives. For although archaeologists must deal with the presence and absence of physicality as a discipline, which studies humans through things, to understand humans they must also address the performances, as well as temporal and affective impacts, of these material remains. The contributions in this volume investigate the way time, performance and movement, both physically and emotionally, are central aspects of understanding architectural assemblages. It is a book about the constellations of people, places and things that emerge and dissolve as affective, mobile, performative and temporal engagements. This volume juxtaposes archaeological research with perspectives from anthropology, architecture, cultural geography and philosophy in order to explore the kaleidoscopic intersections of elements coming together in architecture. Documenting the ephemeral, relational, and emotional meeting points with a category of material objects that have defined much research into what it means to be human, Elements of Architecture elucidates and expands upon a crucial body of evidence which allows us to explore the lives and interactions of past societies.
